Make sure your hoses are shaded.
Even on a 40' day the water in the hose will heat to 100' and the sudden flush off hot water will burn everything it hits.
Cover Nabari with a course easily removed mix for cooling.
Pot temperature needs to be kept low as again even a 40' day will radiate 2 or 3 times the ambient.
Mini's need to be watched ..that goes with out saying

howd your plants end up going.

i was away for 35 days, and managed to keep (almost) everything alive with 2 of these kits and a 30 dollar tap timer.

one kit (6 sprinklers) to the grow beds and one kit to the benches... swapped out 3 of the dripper style ones on the benches for misters though.
ran twice a day for 15 minutes.
only had 2 deaths due to one of my grow bed lines getting strangled by my chili plants which where going wild

Will set up a sprinkler that the daughter will open for a set time daily. Will start her intense training soon. Please pray for me and the trees....

did they all survive?
